I'm currently on EndeavourOS that i set up like a week ago and I'm using a 4070 currently, I'm really new to Linux I used mint for about two months and just swapped over to EndeavourOS, but I wanted to know the proper way to swap over to the AMD card some people are saying I need to remove the Nvidia drivers and the add AMDs drivers then swap or others are saying just drop it in and then last is I have to reinstall the os, what is the proper way to do my upgrade? Thanks in advance sorry for the formatting

RADV is only important when you want to use Vulkan, OpenGL is a part of Mesa package

Radv is also a part of mesa, along with anv, nvk, turnip etc

Yes, but it's packaged separately on Arch
